Un Giorno Molto Speciale - A Special Day at Rita Reade's!

Soldering with Rita

Objects of beauty made with Rita's instruction

 What an incredible day!

 My good friend Raylene and I headed down to bucolic Rainbow for a soldering class with Rita Reade.

I learned a tremendous amount and had such a great time. Everyone created unique and beautiful vintage bottles, we had a wonderful lunch alfresco by the pool --it was such a creative day filled with inspiration. I can't wait to do it all over again!

Goodie Bags and Orange Glaze Cupcakes greeted us

Block Printing at The French General

I've been a fan of all things Kaari Meng for quite awhile. So, whenever I need a little creative inspiration, I hit the French General website https://www.frenchgeneral.com/. During my last creative cyber foray,  I discovered a Block Printing class taught by Laura Palm at The French General. Block Printing? French General? What a perfect combination!
